Oh, thank the late night gods! After some rumors surfaced that Max Weinberg wouldn't be relocating with ConeBone69 to LA for The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien, I was worried. I mean just look at that bored, uninterested face! Because of their bizarre energy and involvement in sketches, the Max Weinberg 7 are the best band in late night (I swear I will fight anyone that suggests anything less).

Late Night would have a totally different tone without elements like Pender's over-energetic, passionate solos and LaBamba's extra-endearing presence. Well, not to worry, people who worry about the same pointless things I do! It looks like Max and the gang are joining Conan in LA.

NBC's official Late Night blog has confirmed the move. Hopefully, the lack of any indication otherwise means that the band will remain completely intact.

I find myself weirdly calmed by the thought that Conan's move from NY to LA is now slightly less jarring. I wasn't aware I was quite so emotionally invested in this. Perhaps it stems from the combination of my intense love of Conan and super-loathing of Jay Leno. Seriously, when is that guy going to just put away the chin and go home? Man, you're not relevant anymore.

To calm my nerves after thinking about Jay Leno for more than two seconds, here's a web exclusive video of LaBamba freaking out during a rehearsal. D'aww... I love it.
